What Is Love
What is love
This devil’s tool
That sharpens hearts
And dulls wits?
It is not lust
It is not sex
It rises up
And simmers down
Dagger of the gods
At whose point
We forsake wisdom
Abandon pride
Leaving all we know
And have believed
Rushing against
The best advice
Of angels.
It fells us all
This aching plague
We sacrifice our craving souls
Upon its altar
And beg for more
This devil’s tool
That sharpens hearts
And dulls wits?
It is not lust
It is not sex
It rises up
And simmers down
Dagger of the gods
At whose point
We forsake wisdom
Abandon pride
Leaving all we know
And have believed
Rushing against
The best advice
Of angels.
It fells us all
This aching plague
We sacrifice our craving souls
Upon its altar
And beg for more

"And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course."
